Delighted to see this. Our colleagues were subjected to a campaign of vilification & threats based on unsubstantiated and deliberately misleading accounts. It is good to see a public reaffirmation of their professionalism & integrity.

30 years after 'Charting Our Education Future', which lead to the Education Act, 1998, it is entirely positive to see that there will be a new National Convention on Education. Kudos to the Minister.

So, I recently took my father’s camera apart. The lens elements had fungus on them (it’s a thing!) and produced hazy, smeary shots. I’m happy that the camera is now shooting like it did in the 60s. (Film: Ilford HP5+ developed and scanned by Gunn’s Cameras, Wexford St., D2)

You are not alone. You are not a burden. You are much loved and needed. If you, or someone you know, is having a mental health crisis, reach out to them and/or trust that you can call out for help.

Christmas can be a tough time of year for many people, but there is support out there if you need it.

' A teacher who left MVPA recently because she disliked this, told the Observer: “The final straw was when teachers were given a training session entitled ‘healthy fear’. I was so shocked. It was just wrong.” . Something very wrong with a QA system that rates schools accused of this as outstanding
